460 Barnhart Road , Remsen, NY 13438(Herkimer County)

Adirondack Property adjacent to NYS Forest Preserve for sale:  If you've ever wondered what was beyond the end of that old abandoned town road you might just satisfy your curiosity on this property.  Seasonal maintenance of the Barnhart Road ends about a quarter mile before you reach the southern boundary.  The old road that zig-zags across this property and onto the next, is still navigable by jeep, atv or snowmobile, however the forest is slowly trying to reclaim this human-made path.  It has been over 15 years since the last timber harvest occurred here and younger trees in this mixed species forest have responded vigorously.  The northern half of the parcel is predominantly a mix of coniferous species including hemlock, red spruce and balsam fir, whereas the southern portion is dominated by hardwood species such as hard & soft maple, black cherry, yellow birch, beech, ash, basswood and aspen.  Wildlife signs are abundant.  Two small streams pass through the lot in their journey south.  And if that's not enough to quench the thirst of the avid outdoor enthusiast, step beyond the eastern boundary and enter the 121,000 acre Black River Wild Forest of the Adirondack Forest Preserve.  

 Hinckley Reservoir (the City of Utica's water supply) and the West Canada Creek are but a stones throw away.  They offer opportunities for swimming, boating, fishing, and even fireworks on the fourth of July.  The property is ~10 miles from the village of Remsen and the local school, and ~27 miles away from Utica the closest city.  So, if you are looking to disconnect from civilization for awhile (or possibly permanently)...you may want to check out what lies beyond the end of Barnhart Road!
